MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1931 Tornado Tests Conference Strength in Klamath Falls Invasion Friday PAGE FOUR I BOWERMAN'S BOYS 'HOPPED' TO TAKE CONTEST Intense Rivalry Adds Inter estBoth Teams Boast Colorful, Complicated At tacksMany Fans Going The Black Tornado of Med ford high school moves Into Southern Oregon conference action for the first time tomorrow night at Klam ath Falls when Coach Bill Bower man sends his potentially great Red and Black machme against the Pel' leans of Coach Arthur "Snowy" Ous Ufson. Klekoff is at eight o'clock sharp at Modoc field. Hundreds of Med ford pigskin fans. their minds ringing with the ques tion is the Tornado ready at last to resume domination of southern Oregon prep football? will make the trip over the GreensprtnRH Klamath officials expect the largest outpouring of spectators In history for the battle that will go a long way toward producing the 1937 champion. It's Crucial Tilt Yet untested In conference action, Med ford's Tigers will be gunning for position at the top of the heap with Ashland, tied now with Klam ath Falls for the leadership, botn with one win, no losses, and one tie. A victory for Klamath Falls will clinch at least a tie for the champ Ion ship, while a Medford win will skyrocket Tiger stock to a par With Ashland. Both teams, probably the most Bitter high school rivals In the state, show rather spotty records, to date, under the first year coaching of Snowy Oust af eon, who succeeded Lea Avrlt, the Pelicans have won one game, lost two, and tied one, Opening the season, Klamath Fails lost to a great Dunsmulr eleven, 0 13: then dropped a 6-7 verdict to The Dalles, considered one of Ore gon's better outfits. Grants Pass was defeated, 16-0, In a conference bat tle, and last Friday night the Peli cans and Ashland fought to a fl-6 deadlock, with the Klamrthltes scor ing In the last IS seconds to escape defeat. Coach Bowerman'a Black Tornado opened the season with an 18-0 win over a strong alumni team, then were upset by an under-rated Rood River machine, 13-14. Roaeburg, of fering little competition, was whack ed 80-7, and last Friday the Tigers bowed to Eureka, 13-30. Tigers "Hopped" It will be the "big" game of the year for both teams, the game that means more, In the long run, than all others combined. The Tigers, following an easy practice week to conserve their strength and man power, cut rather low against Eur eka, are hopped to the skies for their 1987 conference debut. Klam ath Falls, like Medford falling, so far, to display all the power and brilliance expected, la girded to at tempt to turn In the third victory In history over a Medford team. Individual performers of botn teams stand out brightly. Klamath Falls has rugged, hard-running Dom inic Olovanlnl, the power-house fullback who pounded and fought his team to a 8-0 victory over the Tigers laat year at Medford. And, Pete Green, a speedster and a new comer to Pelican ranks, whom many believe la greater than Olovanlnl. The Tornado la sparked by bril liant Bobby Bt linger, 185 pounds of dynamic left halfback and one of the finest climax runners to ever trod a southern Oregon gridiron. And, Red Root, a hard-working flankman or blocking back, who goes about his work with little show but tremendous effectiveness. Both Have Color Both teams boast complicated and colorful a tucks which, so far, have failed to break Into high. Tomorrow may be the night. Yancey, Pelican halfback, can pltrh pansea (his toss to Green tied Ashland), and Bttin ger, Bowman, Hill, Campbell and Stead of Medford can cut loose with overheads. Both tnras reply on spin ners, reverses and other offensive magic. It la a certainty that both outfit will open the book In an attempt to score, and score plenty. Because of Injuries received In the bruising Eureka encounter, Medford may be forced to open with a soph omore fullback, one of the key po sitions. Eldon Grow, receiving a bruised muscle In his leg.

Halfbacks Mettled Ettlnger and Bowman will start at the halfback posts with Red Root at quarterback, the blocking back field position. In the line, Prentice will open at center, Wally Erl and Oene Arch ibald at the guards, Hubert Santo and Dan Ehrhsrt at the tackles, and Don Montelth and Bob Wilson, who played a sweet defensive game sgalnst Eureka the second half, at the ends. i For Klamath Falls, Olovanlnl win be at fullback, Wee Yancey and j Pete Green at the halves, and Angus at quarter.

Mathematical Touchdowns Keep Team's Record Clear BALTIMORE, Oct. 31. (AP) A mathematics professor turned coach, I who works out "plays like equations," has brought Morgan college for negroes through six years of football M games without a de feat. "It's all a matter of timing Coach Edward P. Hurt said. "In science you won't be satisfied with anything leas than exactness. You need the same exactness in coach ing a football team." He doesn't talk about his plays, but he was ready with bis pencil to draw diagrams of them. He nasn't any favorites he says he likes any thing which will gain ground. Like the "Round Robin" he used against Bluefleld State Teachers in 1936. The fullback threw a forward pass, a halfback scooped It In ana la trailed it to another half. The sec ond man lateral led again to tne fullback, who had come wide around end. Then tne fullback made a touchdown. Things like that, Hurt said, account for six-year totals like: Morgan, 983 points; all opponents, 82. v Hurt likes an open game, em phasizing speed and teamwork. "Colored boys are springy In their running," he said. "They're good broken field runners because oi their natural speed." He played end for Howard uni versity in Washington before he came to Morgan as mathematics pro fessor. "But I found I was working out plays with poker chips and on the margins of books I was reading." he said. "Now I'm a full-time coach." You see," he added, "football is Just applied mathematics." the ends, Ewlng and Blwer tne tackles, Wilson and Sample the guards, and Harding, center. Reports from the Pelican city are to the effect that all members of the Klamath aggregation are In excel-! lent condition. The Tigers, 35 strong, will leave Medford tomorrow noon for Klamath Falls, and will rest until game time.

(AP) Ben son Tech continued to press tne leaders of the Portland Interscho lastlc Football league today follow ing a 37 to 0 rout of Commerce high school yesterday. Although the mechanics are undefeated, they have suffered one tie. Gentlemen of the old school have for years been deploring the ract that the foot has been removed from football: that no longer does punting, place-kicking or drop - kicking play the import ant part In the great fall sport once did, and should. Oentlemen. so bigo school ball clubs in this neck oi the woods are concerned, you are entirely cor rect. In fact, a perusal of the scoring records ot Ashland, Medford, Klamath Fails and Grants Pass In games to date, reveal place-kicking apparently plays no part at all. It's really amazing. Take a look, coaches O'Connell, Ous tafson, Tuttle and Bowerman, at what your little Oscar has discov ered. First, Mr. O'Connell. In five ban games this year, your Ashland hign Grizzlies have rammed or forward passed to six touchdowns. You beat Yreka, 12-0; Grants Pass, 12-u; Crescent City, 6-0; and tied Klam ath Falls, 6-6. So far as can be discerned with the naked eye, not one of those six-pointers were fol lowed by a place-kick for the extra point. A successful one, anyway. And think. Mr. O'Connell, what one tiny little marker would have meant in that Klamath Falls conference encounter. but you havent seen a place-kick afterwards amount to anything. Therefore, It's still unanimous, tnat Southern Oregon conference teams don t care about mere one-pointers, Now as for Medford and you, Coach Bill Bowerman, why enter Into the fun and spoil things. Your outfit has collected in touchdowns In four games for a really nice offensive record, although the extra points added after those scores are only five. , One little point would have come In handy In the 1S-M defeat by Hood Klver, but on the whole, your average Is fair. In comparison to Grants Pass, Ashland and Klamath Falls, your percentage Is astounding. Totaled up by our chief math matlclan, it appears that out of 27 touchdowns scored by conference teams this year, only five have been tailed by one more point, and those five touchdowns were increased to seven-pointers by Medford. Ashland, Klamath Falls and Grants Pass are batting exactly zero. In other words, of the 14 touchdowns tallied by those three ball clubs, none have been followed by the extra point. What's the answer? You have us there, Steve. Unless, of course, as Intimated earlier In this discussion, high school football teams around these parts don't pay much atten tion to grabbing every opportunity to score points. Or else, coaches and players, alike, have forgotten the value of a- dependable place-klcker In their frantic search for more and better touchdowns. Mr. Gustafson of Klamath Falls, the same goes for you. A success! ut conversion In those final hectic sec onds would have meant the uncus puted top spot Instead of a tie tor the league leadership, as now exists, Also, a place-kick between the cross bars In your 6-7 loss to The Dalles would have meant a welcome dead lock. In your other games, you beat Grants Pass, 18-0, and lost to Duns mulr, 6-12, and like Ashland, v would take a , magic microscope to discover Just one successful extra point turned in by your eleven Your Pelicans have scored six touch downs this year, but have yet to add the extra point. So, that makes It unanimous so far. Mr. Loren Tuttle of Grants Pass, you've seen your Cavemen score only twice to date. 12-0 against Yreka, LEWIS SUPER SERVICE STATION 8th am! Vinnt.
